New Moon & Sun (remember a new moon puts the Sun and Moon in the same place) form a quincunx to Uranus in Aries. There could be some new, ideas around implementing a fresh start at this New Moon in Scorpio- also some surprises…and with the Scorpio New Moon this could be a skeleton or secret popping out! The New Moon also forms a trine to Chiron in Pisces suggesting some lovely healing energy, Pisces will soften the ‘iron fist in velvet’ of Scorpio. Mercury sextiles Mars, trines North Node. Additional information or communication to assist us on our path we identified around the Leo Total Eclipse last August 2017. Jupiter trine Neptune; real healing, dreams coming true?
The backdrop of this New Moon in Scorpio is Neptune stationing direct to go direct in Pisces. Together with the New Moon in Scorpio we have watery feelings that are deep (Scorpio), dreamy (Pisces) and ‘feel’ everything around them. So, this can be a confusing time (Neptune) and just seems like it’s almost overwhelming as life doesn’t seem to be moving forward as desired (Scorpio). The key is to remember it is…make headway where you can, if you need to…but, this might be a time of reflection to look inside and review our dreams and the feelings surrounding them. This is temporary…get into nature, or just get out of your house and breathe some air when it feels (Scorpio) that nothing makes a difference.
When Neptune does go direct in Pisces on 22 November the mist will clear, and fog is burnt off by the Sun now entering optimistic, forward thinking, Sagittarius. Awww, here comes the Sun! We’ll all be asking: What really matters here? Does this require me to take some action? Mars square Pluto is going to make us feel we ‘need’ to act. What does your intuition say? Scorpio is a very intuitive sign; the new moon will have all of us with our feelers out. Wait till Neptune goes direct before making major moves…guidance will come.
We are going to feel like the tide is against us, the rip tide seems to be taking us further and further away from where we are trying to get to…source, spirit, the universe, god is operating in the background putting the pieces in place. When major change is about to take place, confusion usually reigns…remember that. Saturn is hovering around the Galactic Center sending out messages that we are picking up and, depending on our development, it will determine our reception to the message and what we ‘hear’…spend quiet contemplative time.
Thanksgiving should be a good, time for positive things happening. The Sun will be in Sagittarius and Neptune direct, we will feel finally…that a turning point is at hand and we ‘feel’ better. Be generous with mind and spirit.
For Scorpio Sun and Ascendant this is your official reboot to your year. Awesome year for Scorpios to look forward to…heavenly support from Jupiter now in Scorpio along with Neptune (spirit) and Pluto (transformation).
Just a comment on all the ‘revelations’ of past misbehavior of many in positions of power. This is the effect of Jupiter in Scorpio digging up secrets and previously hidden information and the positive effect of Pluto (transformation) in Capricorn (power structures) providing (in a sextile aspect) opportunities for changing (said institutions).
